Tragedy in Ladakh

The severe monsoon rains that have hammered Pakistan and China have also unleashed their destructive force on Ladakh.  Over a period of two days in early August, severe rains caused heavy flash floods in the capital of Leh, and other surrounding villages.  Hundreds of people died, including a teacher a few students from Lamdon.  We have not yet received word from the Ladakhi Nuns Association regarding whether any of them were injured.  Due to this sudden tragedy, trainings for the remainder of the summer have been cancelled in order to give people a chance to rebuild their lives.  Our hearts are with them all, and we will resume our efforts next year.
